"Prisoner of Hope, Captured by Grace is a captivating tale of harrowing escapes from death, villains, Prince Charming, and a good, powerful, and faithful God. After hearing the God-stories in this book, I told Mona that if she didn't write it, it would be a sin. I'm not saying it's a sin not to read it, but it might be.-- Janet Folger Porter, president of Faith2Action, architect of the pro-life Heartbeat LawThis is a heroic and insightful book with a deeply profound message. Mona courageously shares how painful the human experience can be. With complete honesty she chronicles her suffering, never using Christian platitudes or pulling any punches. The book is sometimes raw and always transformative. In a world of easy believism and prosperity gospel, Mona Tuma's authentic Christianity was forged in the furnace of adversity and is a majestic portrait of the grace of God. A lifechanging read.-- Steve Smith, vice president, Hope For The Heart; director, HopeWorks Counseling; and pastor, First Baptist HebronThe life story of Mona Tuma in Prisoner of Hope, Captured by Grace will make you cry and wonder how she had the perseverance to go on as she experienced horrible desperation. In one instance, it was a phone call. In another, it was Jerry, her future husband. Along the way she shares so many vital life lessons she learned from a threat on her life to facing major health challenges of pain, sickness, and loneliness. This book will challenge you and encourage you to live life to the fullest and depend on God's grace in your life.-- Kerby Anderson, president, Probe Ministries; host, Point of View radio talk showAs we neared the end of the editing process on Prisoner of Hope, Mona called me one day out of the blue. ""Martha Gail?"" she asked, all pleasantries aside (as was our custom after months of collaboration). ""Tell me something,"" she continued. ""You've edited a lot of books, so what makes my book different?"" All I could do was smile. You see, that's the thing about Mona Gail Tuma . . . she gets right to the point. She's raw, she's real, and she holds nothing back. Whatever the challenge, she faces it head-on. And through it all--an abusive marriage at a young age, a contentious divorce, the heinous abuse of her children at her ex-husband's hands, her ex's contract on her life, cancer, a stroke, and another cancer diagnosis in 2022--she held on to her faith. But she also retained her endearing, often self-deprecating, sense of humor, not to mention her enduring gratitude for the army of angels in her life. All I can do is thank her for the inspiration, perspective, and wisdom she's provided me. And, after reading her book, I have no doubt you'll feel the same.-- Martha Gail Fallen, copy editor, Prisoner of HopeThere are books and then there are books. Mona Tuma is a person who is authentic, gritty, and gutsy. She is someone who never gives up and is as realistic as she is faith-filled and hope infused. This book lays out clearly what it takes to break through and ultimately overcome crushing, brutal, and overwhelming disappointments. Mona is just one of those incredible overcomers who shows us what it looks like to face the most severe challenges in life. The way she faces adversity is a constant reminder to me that I can do it too! This is a great read. I love this woman and who she is!-- Barbara J. Yoder, cofounder, Shekinah Christian Church"
